7. Miami Heat

At least at this point in the offseason, I’m not really sure what the Miami Heat roster is going to look like on opening night. For now, it doesn’t seem like they’re going to make a big splash via trade but you never know. And it’s never smart to count out Pat Riley.

Losing PJ Tucker will hurt the team but the hope is that some of the other young pieces on this roster will continue to grow into the player that could help account for his loss. Though, that’s no guarantee and that’s the concern surrounding this team heading into next season.

It’s unlikely that this team will be as good as they were last season in the regular season. But is there a way they could get back to the conference finals? Sure, it’s not that outrageous of a thought.
